This paper is a fine example of the multitude of ways that surface finishing can be brought to bear in process development. In this case, a combination of processes is applied to large scale hydrogen production.Article: ExternalPublished: 1/20/2015

Techmetals’ president Phil Brockman is often the last electroplater that some customers visit on their search for solutions to persistent finishing issues or to plate unique parts. But it’s easy to see why most major aerospace, medical, defense, oil...ArticlePublished: 2/1/2014

Decorative electroplated chrome coatings on plastics have been produced for decades. For environmental reasons, there has been a shift away from hexavalent chrome (Cr6) to trivalent chrome (Cr3) with increased investments towards elemental chrome PV...ArticlePublished: 1/3/2013

This overview takes a look at vacuum deposition technologies as processes that may be used to create coatings that can be substituted for or enhances the properties of electroplated coatings. Initially, this work discusses trends in metal finishing ...ArticlePublished: 1/3/2013
